The Troubling Treatment of Children in the Wizarding World
I have to admit that when I heard the news of a potential Harry Potter stage show about Harry’s childhood with the Dursleys I was not very excited, which in turn made me feel really disappointed. As a longtime Potter fan, I wanted to be excited about the possibility of getting more from the wizarding world, but the idea of seeing more of Harry’s childhood held little interest for me. In fact, the more I consider it the more upset I become with the idea of Harry’s upbringing, and I’ve begun to wonder who should be held accountable for allowing him to live in such poor physical and emotional conditions.
